"Jing Si, is Fourth Sister-in-law awake?" Jie Jingshan asked.
"She's awake." Jie Jingchen strode toward the kitchen. A moment later, he returned to the courtyard carrying a bowl of congee. He set the steaming porridge on the stone table, along with a small dish of pickled vegetables.
"You're feeding my little sister *this*?" Qin Xiang pointed at the congee and pickles, his handsome eyes full of disdain.
"And this." Jie Jingchen pulled an egg from his pocket. He cracked it against the stone table, peeled away the shell, and placed the hard-boiled egg into the congee.
Qin Xiang was satisfied. A boiled egg at least added some nutrition. "Little Sis, hurry up! The congee's getting cold."
"What's the rush? She'll be out once she's done washing up." Jie Jingchen gave Qin Xiang a light shove on the shoulder.
The look on Qin Xiang's face shifted, his expression unreadable.
